Sensors
Weight
Place the four weight sensors under the corners of the hive bottom. The plastic part of each sensor must face upward, and the lower metal support must rest on a firm, flat surface. Do not place the sensors directly on soil or a soft wooden base. The hive must not wobble.
An unsuitable support causes misalignment and distorts measurements:
The sensor's metal part must rest on a firm, flat surface:
The sensors are moisture-resistant but are not intended for partial or complete immersion in water.
Temperature
A typical arrangement places one sensor inside or above the hive and the other outside or below it. You can change their locations according to the purpose of the observation.
Additional Options
- the motion sensor is installed on the side of the main unit and detects movement at a distance of 5–7 m within a 120–150° sector;
- the OLED display shows weight, temperatures, and battery charge and turns on during measurement or when activated with the magnetic key;
- weather sensors can add humidity, pressure, and additional temperature readings.
The presence of the OLED display, weather sensor, and alarm input is specified in the additional device settings.
